A First Impressions’ Mindset
Every single one of our churches wants to attract and retain new guests. It’s the very mission of the church to help rescue the lost and then train them to help rescue the lost. But it’s no secret that the vast majority of our churches are in decline. Not only are we not reaching new people, we are losing the ones that we have.
When we think about first impressions, we tend to think signage, bathroom conditions, parking lot team, and greeters. But Rich Birch suggests that we must go much deeper than that, especially training out volunteers. We need to work to help them adapt a first impressions mindset.
